Watch the best film and TV trailers that aired during the Super Bowl

06 February 2017, 11:17

The Super Bowl never fails to drop jaws - with Lady Gaga's mesmerising halftime show and the edge-of-your-seat result, this year was certainly a vintage edition.

As well as the headline-grabbing events, a heaping helping of new trailers dropped - it looks like we've got a lot of action-packed blockbusters, superhero sequels, and general machismo to look forward to.

Here are the best previews that dropped during last night's masterclass in entertainment.

Stranger Things

Yes - at last, Netflix's sci-fi darling retuns. Not until Halloween, mind, but now we at least have a firm date for our burning questions to be answered. The trailer gives very little away, actually asking more (what the hell is that gigantic spider beast?!), but there's a neat lil' Ghostbusters nod to savour.

A Cure For Wellness

A mysterious thriller set in the Swiss Alps starring Daddy Malfoy. Not the highest-profile flick shown off, but it's certainly got tongues wagging.

Logan

Hugh Jackman's last outing as the enigmatic Wolverine is set to be a bloody one - he reportedly took a pay cut to ensure it got an R-rating Stateside.

The Fate Of The Furious

Somehow this'll be the eighth edition of the testosterone-fuelled franchise.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.II

Guardians Of The Galaxy is one of Marvel's more surprising hits, featuring a ragtag bunch of space rogues including Vin Diesel as a tree-man and Bradley Cooper as a bazooka-toting raccoon. Still, it's hugely popular and the soundtrack kicks ass - this sequel's gonna be one of 2017's biggest movies for sure.

John Wick: Chapter 2

Ruby Rose, Keanu Reeves, Peter Stormare, Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, Peter Serafinowicz, Common, and more star in the brooding crime caper.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

This is actually called Salazar's Revenge in the UK for some reason. Dead Men Tell No Tales is a much cooler title.

Life

If you're aching for more of "astronauts find life on Mars but it's trying to kill them" then this one's for you.

Transformers: The Last Knight

Michael Bay's bloated robot saga is back for a grand finalé, with the director bowing out after five instalments. End of an explosive era.

Ghost In The Shell

The live-action remake of the anime/manga classic has drawn plenty of fire for dubious casting decisions, but it'll no doubt be a hit anyway.
